In the first half between the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the Bengals’ passing offense was impressive. Quarterback Andy Dalton completed 11 of 18 passes for 106 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also wasn’t sacked.

But in the second half, Dalton and the Bengals’ fortunes changed drastically.

In the final two periods, Dalton completed six of 12 passes for just 34 yards, with zero touchdown passes and two interceptions. He was sacked an absurd four times in the fourth quarter and threw the ball away on fourth and two with a little over three minutes remaining in the game.

But perhaps most astonishing was the lack of targets for the best player on the team, wide receiver A.J. Green, who saw just two targets in the entire second half.

Bengals score no points, no catches for A.J. Green and no carries for Joe Mixon in the second half with the season on the line.

His two interceptions, both of which came in the third quarter, were poorly thrown balls. And the Bengals only picked up one first down the entire second half.

Sure the offensive line and the coaches deserve a big part of the blame (for poor protection and for abandoning the run respectively in the second half), but as the team’s leader, Dalton simply has to find a way to get something going in these kinds of games.
